The creators of this massive piece said “Once [the] LEGO set was released last year, I thought, is this it? So I started to collect mini-figures from around the world specially Elf. It was painful process since I was only able to get 6 from Germany, 8 from Poland, etc in order to get enough Elf to represent [the] movie scene.”

We’ve all seen some amazing lego creations before, but this once is a clear contender for most impressive masterpiece of all time!
